As we submit this, the third edition of The Clixic, to the mercies
of the students of P. & S. and the public in general, we trust that
all criticisms directed against it may be tempered with justice and
charity.
We do not hold ourselves responsible for any personal refer-
ences which may be made herein, as our one aim has been to
comply with the wishes of the student majority. To any indi-
vidual who may find himself included among the unfortunate
minority, and who has received more than his share of "Boosts,"
"Slams," "Kicks" or "Knocks," we extend to him our heartfelt
sympathy.
To those who have seen and recognized the worn-out condition
of the Editorial Board, and have come so nobly to our aid in the
hour of need, we wish to acknowledge our lifelong indebtedness.
Fearing to further tempt a kind Providence, which has thus
far sustained us, with a last feeble effort of our rapidly failing
strength, we launch forth "The Clinic of Nineteen Hundred Nine."

To DR. GEORGE J. PRESTON,
Late Professor of Ph'^siology and Diseases of the Nervous S\)stem.
How little we think, as we live from day to day.
Of the true worth of friends whom we pass along our way.
Every hour we're told of loved ones who have left and entered there.
Where Life's roadway has no turning, where they have no cross to bear.
Such sad partings make us ponder, make us feel as though there were
More to Life than mere existence, more to strive and labor for.
Just so, from our midst has left us one we honored and admired.
One who always labored for us, helped us, and who never tired.
His bright smile and cheerful greeting gave each student hope and cheer
As he met us in the classroom many times throughout the year.
Not alone was he our teacher — more than that he seemed to be —
Just one of us, you might say, a friend to all, to you, to me.
He has left us just to journey in that Distant Land afar.
Where the paths are stream with roses, where each crovm is decked with stars.
Though we miss him and we sorrow, yet sweet memories linger yet
Of a life whose sweet example we nevpr shall forget.
R. W. LOCHER.
twenty-fotj-b The Clinic
T has seemed to those of us who have been placed in charge of this book, representing as it does the
fj^ student body, that it would be altogether fitting to add a few words, inadequate as they are in giving
expression to our real feelings, to the many beautiful and deserving tributes that have been paid to the
memory of Dr. Trimble, whose portrait appears on the opening page, and to whom we have the
honor to dedicate this book.
Death is a common thing in the providential order of things, as common and equally as familiar as birth;
yet, death, beyond any other event, produces the most profound impression upon the mind. This is true when it
knocks at the door of the humblest; much more so when it overtakes those prominent in life, those who have
achieved honor and success in one or along several lines.
The sudden death of Dr. Trimble, in the prime of life, recalls to our memory the beautiful manner in
which the gifted Dr. Holmes spoke of death in early life, comparing life to a clock which had been wound
by the angel of life to run for three score years and ten, but which through some accident has run down before
the lapse of the allotted time. While Dr. Trimble's stay among us was short, in that brief time we were able
to learn of his true manhood, his kindly and sympathetic nature, the graces of his mind and heart, combining in
one perfect union amiability, sweetness of disposition, gentleness of manner and fine courtesy to all of high or
low station in life who were thrown in contact v^th him.
Dr. Trimble was a leading man in the City of Baltimore, not solely in a professional way, but in social as
The Clinic twenty-five
well. He was the true type of a Southern gentleman, courtly and perfect in bearing, with an attractive person-
ality which drew all unconsciously to love and respect him. The variety and character of the positions which
he held ably testify to the commanding influence he exerted in his community.
On the day of his burial the great concourse of people, numbering among them hundreds of students
whom he had so diligently and faithfully labored to instruct in the fundamentals of surgery, and others — promi-
nent men in every walk of life — who had gathered to pay this their last tribute of respect, bore full testimony
of the high place he occupied in the hearts of those who knew him. The Legislature of the Commonwealth
of Maryland, in session, adjourned after news of his death reached that body. All college exercises
were suspended until after his burial, and everywhere little groups of students and Doctors were collected,
grief-stricken beyond measure of belief. A cloud of gloom, dark and impenetrable, had settled over every one,
which time alone, or perhaps the knowledge that our friend had gone to a home of rest, of immortality, could
serve to dispel. Before his death the college bulletin boards were eagerly scanned by all connected with the
college, hoping for the best; but hope was doomed to dismay, for, though all possible that is known to the
science of medicine was done for him, he passed to the great and mysterious beyond on the morning of the
twenty-fourth of February, nineteen hundred eight.
Appropriate resolutions were framed by the students en masse, and action was taken looking to the pur-
chase of a floral tribute, and it was finally decided to place an oil painting of Dr. Trimble in the college library.
Today an almost perfect likeness hangs on the college walls, the gift of the students to the college.
The sudden manner in which Dr. Trimble died, and the circumstances which attended his death, not only
aroused the sympathy and regret of those who knew him, but of all who learned the sad facts of the case. He
died a martyr to his profession, death coming as the result of his devotion to duty and his disregard for personal
safety; but to one who was prepared as Dr. Trimble was, we cannot but feel with Ruskin that death is really
a comforter and friend, bringing in his right hand rest and in his left hope.
twe:;tt-six The Clinic
No matter how much we philosophize, and no matter how much comfort we find in the beUef of inmior-
tality, we nevertheless are appalled at the change from life to death. Time, God's healing gift, eventually
helps us over the great gulf of sorrow. While Dr. Trimble has departed from us in body, yet he still is with
us, and shall ever remain in the influences for good that he has left us. Life on earth is the seed time, and this
time of his existence was fully occupied in sowing seeds represented in good deeds, such as consideration for
those about him, and in the consunmiation of all those things which are represented in Shakespeare's idea of a
man. His life was much the same as the ever-widening, never-ending circles which an object cast into a body of
still water will produce, for as it is impossible to estimate the extent of these circles, so it is beyond our power of
imagination to say to what far-distant age or in what land or country the never ceasing or ending, kindly and
benefiting influence of our departed friend may extend.
We who knew him, miss him, and will miss his ever-pleasant smile; but the memory of his services to
us, the generous manner in which he contributed his time and talents for our benefit, and to other good and
deserving causes, will always linger fondly in our recollections, and his example of right living shall be to us in
our every-day battles what the lighthouse is to the mariner in the storms at sea. He has left to those who were
nearer and dearer to him than we, as a heritage, the priceless legacy of an untarnished name and an example
for good.
In closing this feeble tribute we feel inclined to add the words pronounced in eulogy, by a friend, on the
death of Marriott Brosius, a distinguished Pennsylvanian, as they express beautifully our own thought:
"That, while green grass vnW cover his grave, blue skies bend over it, sweet birds sing near it, and the
place will be hallowed ground, yet greener than the grass, fairer than the skies, sweeter than the birds, more
hallowed than the grave itself, will be his fragrant memory enshrined with supreme sacredness in the hearts of
those who knew and loved him." LCNGSDORF, '10.

M. A. Abrams ("Mike") * x
Baltimore, Md.
Secretary, '07-'08.
Mike is a graduate of Baltimore City College, '05, and, having acquired
a business training, was chosen manager of the baseball team. He has been
in several disputes as to the disposing of the paraphernalia, but, as yet, has
thrown no light upon the mystery. He is no longer interested in athletics, but
devotes his spare time to the society ladies. He has a full-dress suit, but does
not wear it much, as he ordered the trousers turned up at the bottom to show
that he is a student. This the tailor failed to do. Mike flutters around with
"the classy ones."
C. A. Andrews ("Sam") * X Brockton, Mass.
Year Book Committee, '07-'08.
Having prepared himself at Williston Seminary, Sam decided to quit
the farm and cast his fortunes among the Physicians in Baltimore. Some of
the boys say he has very "taking" ways and shows the results of farm feeding
by being one of the best "lifters" at school. Sam is suffering from Pruritis
of the oesophagus, which requires an abundance of food to alleviate the
itching. He is the despair of his boarding mistress, and he always cleans up
everything in sight at the banquets. The worst that can be said of Sam is
that he is a friend of Charlie Miles.

S. M. ArcHAMBAULT ("Archie")
Arctic Centre, R. I.
Sergeant-at-Arms, '07-'08; Treasurer, '09.
After beating his way through High School, Archie attended St. Hya-
cinthe's Seminary, Montreal, Canada, where he took a special course in
"How to dress flashy." He seems to have mastered his subject, as few can
equal and none can surpass him in his chosen line. He is a fat, good-natured
child, and minds his own affairs. Archie intends to practice in Japan, and
is tutoring under a Miss Fakis, who resides in Newark, N. J.
Frank AtcHINSON ("Foxy Grandpa")
Norrv'ich, Conn.
He began life very young by cutting his teeth on a crowbar. When a
boy, Frank drove a milk cart, which he says gave more milk than a cow, and
continued this occupation until the board of health interfered. Being deprived
of his livelihood, he became interested in the study of medicine. He is a
product of Yale I/ledical School, entering the Senior Class at P. & S. Since
his arrival, he takes a general interest in the doings about school, but is espe-
cially interested in the Spirochaeta Pallida. Frank's ambition is to become
Chief of the Dispensary Staff.
The Clinic
James K. Biddle ("Jim") a a n $ a ®
Year Book Committee, '07-'08.
Athens, Ohio.
The ancient and illustrious city of Athens claims Jim as one of her
famous sons. They say he displays the Grecian characteristics, as no one
can make him squeal when he holds "them." When not down to Sam's,
turn your footsteps toward any of the dancing schools, and you will find him
taking part in the prize waltzes. Jim possesses a fine voice, and can be heard
singing his latest song, entitled "How can I separate the boys from fifty cents
for the Year Book Committee?"
Victor Biddle ("Vic") * b n $ a ®
President, '05-'06.
Athens, Ohio.
Being made when beef was cheap, he graduated from Public High
School, and with the scent of new-mown hay he entered Ohio State University.
After absorbing all the knowledge attainable in that institution, he then
began to teach the young idea to shoot. The thought of becoming a great
surgeon absorbed his mind, and straightway he came to Baltimore, where he
entered P. & S. During his Senior year he obtained a berth at the Children's
Home, where he is held in high esteem, as they have fewer children now.
Vic believes children make good angels.

THIBTY-ONE
Simon Bloom, Russia.
Imported from Russia (look for trade-mark on right ear). He man-
aged to escape the Custom House officials and went to Boston, Mass., where
he learned to eat beans and speak English. Although small of stature, his
large head is a target for everything lying loose. He is getting bald, owing
to cerebral development, since his arrival at P. & S. He is an ardent Socialist
and can give Roosevelt pointers on "how to run a proper government."
H. M. Boyd, Kentucky^.
Fresh from the moonshine district in Kentucky, where every man is his
own bartender; is a nice, handsome, well-meaning son of a chap. He grew
a mustache, but the future Mrs. Boyd objected, hence the reason for its
removal. He is very kind to animals, and smokes the best brand of cigarettes.
He was formerly a student at the University of Louisville, but didn't like the
brand of fire-water, so came to Baltimore, where he is well liked by all with
whom he comes in contact.

J. D. BUBERT, * X
Elmer Braddock ("Brad") * b n
West F'mley, Pa.
Brad hails from West Finley (not on the map), and was formerly an
oil worker, and is now trying to work the Faculty for a diploma. He suffers
from a chronic grouch, and somehow can't forget it. He is a good contor-
tionist, and can screw his face into any old shape. Brad is the recipient of
numerous perfumed epistles, and we wonder who she is. He is lately known
as "Neighbor," and seems to be the fountain from which all knowledge flows.
Ball
imore
,Md.
He received his early training in public schools, and later took up a
business course. He is a great social light, and it is a cas2 of "boss and boss"
with him and Harry Lehr. He is very modest, and possesses a good amount
of gray matter. He is popular and one of the leaders of the Sunday-School.
He claims he is a model young man — no one doubts him. The girls think
he is real "cute."

THIBTT-THBEE
J. G. Callison ("Osier") *X LeTvass];, W. Va.
Historian. '07-'08.
Osier looks like a real Doctor, and came here from the wilds of West
Virginia with a dress suit and a set of whiskers. He was the pride of the
girls, but fell from grace during the holidays, when he took unto himself a
wife. He has traveled extensively, having stopped off at Cockeysville and
Highlandtown. He has made several public speeches and lectured on "The
Crab as a Politician." On entering P. & S. he immediately instructed the
"Profs." in the art of medicine. "Prezzie" says it takes a half-nelson to
hold him down. As a lithographer he is the "real cheese," and according to
his own statements, can do more stunts than a circus.
Thomas W. Causey ("Tom") Brunsmck, Ga.
President, '09; Year Book Committee, '09.
Born at Jesup, he received his preliminary education at public schools,
and later became a stenographer. This training has served him well, as he
can take down anything from a period to a pause in the lectures. He then
went into the lumber business, where he met with great success. Tom is the
candy kid orator of the class, and wall lend an ear to any one discussing the
negro question, Tom likes the X-ray apparatus as well as he likes "niggers."
He will Hsten- to any one, but has some good ideas of his own.

J. K. Coleman,
Honesdale, Pa.
Here is another of the new arrivals at P. & S., having entered the Senior
Class. He is extremely bright from using Sapolio, and is always dressed
like a horse and buggy, and will stand without hitching. He spent his first
three years of medicine at U. of P., and then came to Baltimore, where he
entered P. & S. He loves his bed and hates to be disturbed for lectiu'es.
He is a specialist on Skin Diseases, and can now diagnose a case of Scabies
without assistance.
W. J. COSTELLO, Ph.C, Baltimore, Md.
Vice-President, '05-'06 ; Chairman of Executive Committee, '09.
Costello just happened, and was raised on Mellin's Food. Somehow
he acquired a certain amount of knowledge, and one day, when the Dean
wasn't looking, sneaked into the Maryland University, where he obtained a
Ph.G. He then began to dispense Peruna and Lydia Pinkham's Pills, with
the usual fake guarantees. Seeing so many Doctors make easy money, he got
the opinion that he would rather write for pills than make them. Like many
other misguided individuals, he committed matrimony early, but this is not
held against him.

THIBTY-i'iVE
J. D. DiNSMORE ("Dens")
Sbelburne, N. S.
Dens is popularly known as the "King's Jester," being born somewhere
in the wilds of Nova Scotia. He is an ardent advocate of Weir Mitchell's
Rest Cure, and considers himself quite a social butterfly. He is a firm believer
in asepsis, taking a bichloride bath once a week. He is the originator of the
famous Dinsmore Piano-Playing Method of Palpation. Dens is a disciple of
Darwin, and can trace his ancestry back to the monkey period. He denies
any relationship to Caruso, of monkey-house fame. He says he has to Ccirry
a club with hjm when on the street to keep the girls away from him. Dens can
throw "hot air."
J. B. DODRILL ("Doddie") * X Birch River, W. Va.
Sergeant-at-Arms, '06-'07; Executive Committee, '09.
This horny-handed son of toil is popularly knowm to his friends as
"Rattlesnake Pete." He says that he has seen more snakes than Sam
Andrews. Happy, indeed, will be old Doddie when he can buy his furniture
aind settle down on the banks of the Birch River far away. Doddie is strong
on pie, and buys tobacco by the yard, paring it off with a "toad sticker."

Year Book Committee, '07-'08; Valedictoricin.
If you want to hear this old boy use profane language, suggest that the
poor, "dowTitrodden" colored man be allowed to live. Faucett has formed a
partnership wth Dr. Gimdry for the treatment of nervous diseases, but is
thinking of repudiating it and going over to the Sprathng forces. Faucett is
strong on criticism. He is a high "mogul" in the Y. M. C. A., always cross-
ing his fingers before taking a drink.
Easton, Pa.
As the neime implies, he is a foxy student from some place on the earth.
After finishing at pubHc schools, he entered Medico Chi, of Philadelphia.
but being disgusted with the boarding mistresses, came to Baltimore. He
possesses a frank look and an open face, especially when eating pie. He
holds a gold medal won at a watermelon-eating contest. Fox was a general
in Coxey's Army.

C. D. Gordon, * x
Wharton, N. J.
Treasurer, '07-'08.
The noisiest man in the class, and insists on making a speech on every
possible occasion. Frequently boasts of his female conquests, and says he
ties a knot in his shoestrings for every heart he breaks. His shoestrings are
now full of knots. A very boisterous character; puts salt in his beer and
drinks his liquor "neat." Truly a bad man.
W. Greenfeld,
Baltimore, Md.
He chews up his words and spits them out in chunks, so that no one
knows what he is talking about unless they use a Peerless Separator. He is
thinking seriously of adopting Vic Biddle as a collaborator in his great work,
"Physiognomy." By the way, did you ever note the size of Greenfeld's
pedal extremities? He has Doddy green with envy, and even Brad acknowl-
edges that he is in his class. He is considered a bad man, "totes" a gun, and
is an expert on threats.

J. B. is a darling with the weaker and more susceptible sex, but among

Ed is an authority on baseball and other forms of trivial amusement.
You can hear him any day discussing the merits or demerits of the Baltimore
Baseball Team, and would travel miles to see it "licked." Ed says ball
players have degenerated since he was a boy. He is very partial to the
theatres. When it comes to laughing, he can put crimps into all of them.
For a real contagious, triple-expansion laugher, Ed is in a class by himself.

'is one day he would become the master of all diseases
to which man is heir. How little we realized the
many hours of tedious study we would have to spend
before we would, even in a measure, accomplish our
ambition. During the first few weeks we were the
unwilling guests of the "Sophs.," on whom we
looked with askance, but acquiesced in a most dutiful
manner to all their commands, until we thought it
time to assert some of our rights. Accordingly,
heving that in "unity there is strength," and that
thout a leader we would have to suffer indefinite
umiliation at their hands, we gathered in one
of the most secluded corners of the
building, where we became organized
and chose the man who was to direct us
The Clinic fittt-seven
against the foe. This difficult but honorable task fell to the lot of big Vic Biddle, who, with an able body
of assistants, piloted us through the most difficult strait of our college life. At this meeting the following men
were elected officers for the ensuing year: Victor Biddle, President; W. J. Costello, Vice-President; J. F.
Wilson, Secretary and Treasurer, and G. A. Anderson, Sergeant-at-Arms.
To say that we received our share of tanking would be putting it mildly ; we surrendered after a fierce
battle. No mercy was shown for our feeHngs or wearing apparel. For a time things began to brighten
until we entered the dissecting room, where we were confronted with the following set of rules: "No smoking of
cigars; no loud or unnecessary talking;" and, above all, "we were never to enter the room until our superiors had
properly arranged themselves for work."
However, as time went on, and we became better acquainted with each other, we sat for the time-honored
class picture. This was considered our first decisive victory, as the picture was taken before the horde of Sophs
made their attack, and by some adept manoeuvre the photographer was placed on a passing trolley with the plate
safely tucked under his arm, much to the chagrin of his pursuers.
In baseball we shone as the bright lights, when, with Boness, the clever fielder, and Bailey, the fleet-footed
fielder, the Sophs were taken into camp by an overwhelming defeat.
During the remainder of the year all our energies were centered on the much-dreaded "exams." in order
that we might come back the following year as full-fledged Sophs.
Refreshed by the long vacation, we returned, ready to resume the work where we had left off, and imme-
diately began to entertain and initiate the Freshies into the mysteries of college life. Being mindful of the old
adage, "Do unto others as others have done unto you," we carried out the class rush and tanking, returning with
the palm of the victor.
One event especially worthy of mention took place when, stationing ourselves in the dissecting room, at the
signal of Dick Rice, we turned the hose on the Freshmen, literally drowning them out. Another fierce encounter
HFTT-EIGHT THE CLINIC
followed, in which McClean, Vic Biddle, Bailey and O'Brien did the bulk of the work in overpowering the
enemy.
Next in order of events came the taking of the Freshman class picture. As we were seated in Dr. Fort's
Pharmacology room, some one tipped us off that the affair was in progress. With one accord we immediately
hastened to the scene, almost causing heart failure to our professor by the manner of our exit. With regret we
confess our attempt to disrupt their little band was futile, for they had already achieved their ambition.
This year we were again crowned with success in baseball, having defeated the Freshies in a one-sided game.
During the year the following officers were elected: President, R. W. Rice; Vice-President, James Hew-
son; Secretary, J. W. Gardner; Treasurer, W. A. Griffith; Historian, William Veenstra; Sergeant-at-Arms,
J. B. Dodrill.
There were no unusual events during the next few months until we selected the men who were to manage
the pubHcation of the Year Book. This caused no little excitement, as there was a rivalry between the "Frats"
and the "Barbarians" as to whom should be the representatives. After a somewhat lengthy discussion all was
amicably settled and the following men elected: O'Brien, Causey, Hardman, J. Biddle, Talbot, Andrews,
Parker and Faucett.
The final "exams." were quickly approaching, and for the rest of the term our undivided attention was given
to them. These having been successfully passed, we returned to our homes to enjoy the long-wished-for vacation.
With reminiscences of a delightful Summer, we again returned in the Fall of '07 to the scenes of our labors,
filled with the determination to work still harder, as we were fast approaching the goal of our ambition. This
was the most dreaded of all years, as we had so many new branches that we thought nothing save a superhuman
effort would land us safely across the abyss. The year began with the election of officers, and this, unlike the
previous year, was unusually quiet, with the result that the following men were chosen: Elmer Braddock,
President; W. T. Morrissey, Vice-President; Michael Abrams, Secretary; C. D. Gordon, Treasurer; J. G.
CaUison, Flistorian; Amelio Preziosi, Artist.

From now on everything moved quietly, except with the Year Book Committee, who were constantly
making appeals for subscriptions, and whose eloquent addresses produced anything but the effect desired.
On February 24, 1908, we were all shocked to learn of the untimely death of our dear Professor, Dr.
Trimble. Each class looked upon him as an honorary member, and all deeply felt his loss.
As history repeats itself, so do the exams., and we again found ourselves preparing to do them justice. These
over, we returned to our homes, anxiously awaiting the "returns." During the summer God had seen fit to take
away another of our beloved professors. Dr. Preston. On our return to college memorial services were held in
the large amphitheatre.
This year Bevin, Bonness, Sweeney, Silverstein and Foonini cast their fortunes In other fields, while their
places were taken by Atchinson, Fox, Boyd, Coleman, Bloom, Grose and Urevitz.
The boys began their work this year with unusual vigor. This same spirit was very much in evidence
during the compaign of class elections. Every time one entered the school he was met by some one extending
the glad hand who had an axe to grind. It was a case of the survival of the fittest — "Frat" against "non-Frat."
Every scheme imaginable was brought into play, each one doing his utmost in order that his side would be the
victor. However, after the first ballot the victory was conceded to the "non-Frats," and as a result the follow-
ing men were elected: President, T. W. Causey; First Vice-President, J. F. Wilson; Second Vice-President,
A. M. Reid; Third Vice-President, B. A. Jenkins; Secretary, H. A. Lange; Treasurer, L. M. Archambault;
Historian, W. T. Morrissey; Sergeant- at- Arms, R. A. Michelson; Artist, A. Preziosi; Prophet, W. Veenstra;
Valedictorian, T. W. Causey; Executive Committee, W. J. Costello (chairman), J. F. Ryan, A. Thompson,
J. B. Dodrill, J. G. Callison. J. F. O'Brien.
And now the time has come when we shall leave our friends and dear Alma Mater, to go forth into the
world and assume the responsibilities incumbent upon every medical man. Ours is a noble calling, and we fer-
vently trust that none of the Class of '09 will mar the high standard we have already set; that we shall reflect
honor and glory not only on ourselves, but also upon our dear professors, who have labored so faithfully with us
in our work, is our sole desire.

"l|ot Air'*
"Father, tell me what is Hot Air ?"
Asked an eager, anxious lad.
"Son, replied the loving father,
"Hot Air means both good and bad."
As a literal translation.
Hot air is the gas that's found
Around about the furnaces.
Where coal and wood abound.
But in jesting bar-room parlance
Hot Air stands for something more ;
It's a salve to heal the suckers
Who imagine they are sore.
When a guy comes up and strings you
With a story that's not rare.
All about a check that's coming,
Take my word, son, that's Hot Air.
Should another guy approach you
With a lovely tale of woe.
Mentioning that he knew you
In the buried long ago;
And should he edge up to you closely,
While he gently strokes his hair.
And whisper about a small loan.
Just believe me, that's Hot Air.
Now, this useful by-product of carbon
Is not made alone for men;
Women use it to advantage
In their business, now and then.
If a lady lack in morals
Fondly calls you "Teddj^ Bear,"
While your good coin she is burning.
Lad, she's handing you Hot Air."
If you cop a little fairy
While the lights are burning bright.
And the horse of dawn is racing
Down the beaten track of night.
And she sa3'S it never happened
In her virgin life before.
And that drink and she were strangers
'Till you butted in the door,
And she tells you of her mamma,
And the things she doesn't dare,
Take a "hunch," my son, and shake her —
All these bluffs are just Hot Air.
As a means of producing heat
In many places, you will find
That this product of the furnace
Has other elements beaten blind.
But for any other purpose
Don't accept it, pass it by;
You may not detect its presence.
But watch, and nail it with your eye.
"It is hard to tell the distance
Frogs may leap from where they sit and stare."
This thought may illustrate the meaning
Of this classic term, "Hot Air."

For many, many hundreds of years it has
been the custom of mankind that the. deeds o
the truly great should be inscribed upon parch
ment or paper and filed away among the
archives of the land in which they dwelt, in
order that those who came afterward, by read-
ing of their achievements, should strive to emu-
ate their glories.
For this purpose, and this alone, the
author has taken his Bulldog Special Parker
Pen in his good right hand, and hereby endeav-
ors, in modest and unassuming orthography, to
chronicle the History of the Class of 1910.
In the early autumn of 1906 we came
together "from the wide world everywhere" —
one from the land of the tropical palms, one
from New Brunswick's pines, and another
whose clothing bore the odor of Nova
Scotia mackerel. These, with the rest of
us, who were "to the manner born," made
sixTx-sDc The Clinic
up the body of notables whose story we are going to tell. The troubles of picture-taking, the conferring of the
Water Tank Degree, and the hurling of adipose tissue belonging to the late lamented Susan Smith or Rev.
George Washington Johnston are tribulations of which so much has previously been said that they may pass
with mere mention. Suffice it to say we bore the blunt like men, and soon learned to swallow the decoction that
made Martini famous, not forgetting in the meanwhile the name "Milwaukee," and were happy. Contact
with Sophs, made our rough places smoother and fitted us for the honors to come, which were many.
Time rolled on, as it has been in the habit of doing; 1906 was numbered with the past, and when we gath-
ered again our verdancy was gone — we were Sophomores. What we did to the Freshies was enough ; we had
some struggles, to be sure, as when they attempted to have their picture made, when they entered the Anatomical
Laboratory, and on the ball field, but they amounted to nothing. To us the year of 1907 was a march of
continuous triumph.
The whirligig went on ; 1 907 was gone and 1 908 reigned in her stead. Once more we came together,
greater this time than ever before. By a process of evolution the Sophs, had become Juniors. With new-bom
courage we attacked the difficulties that beset us, which, by the way, were numberless. First came the Clinical
Laboratory exam., and then the mid-year's and others too numerous to mention. Our new-found powers swept
opposition from our path and made triumph an assured fact.
With our long-continued period of success at our backs, we may confidently face whatever the future
may have in store for us. But, H — l! what's the use of anticipating? Some poor devil vwll be roped in as
Historian next year and will tell you all about it.

As Sophomores we gathered October 1 , 1 908, to zealously
pursue the second year of our medical course. Of last year's Fresh-
man Class, SIX had gone to other schools, but we have been fortunate
m obtammg the same number of new members in our enrollment.
At out first class meetmg we elected as President, Mr. M. W.
Kuhlman; Vice-President, Mr. N. H. Bailey; Treasurer, Mr.
Hamilton; Secretary, Mr. T. J. Roche; Historian, Mr. H. E. Brad-
ley; Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr. D. W. Kahle.
The good-fellowship that prevails, not only in our class, but
throughout the school, is unexcelled anywhere. The interest which
we have shown in lectures, laboratories and quizzes is praiseworthy.
Every one of us realize upon entering our life's work that attention
and energy will gain for us our object.
As Sophomores we had to prove to the upper classmen that the
Freshmen were our inferiors. During the first week of school a series

of rushes took place, but no "tanking" occurred, as the Faculty had, during vacation, put that very useful and
highly ornamental piece of w^orkmanship hors de combat. Finally, a code of rules was sent them, and as they have
followed each and every one, there has been no cause for further interference on our part.
In years past it was customary to have the two lower classes in the dissecting room together. What hap-
pened belongs to the history of other classes. This year the classes are separated, and the amusement previously
furnished is greatly missed. To Drs. Haynes and Stifler, for their valuable instructions, we must extend our
gratifications ; we feel as though our knowledge of dissecting has vastly increased, and the afternoons spent there
have not only been profitable, but exceedingly pleasant.
The plan of holding mid-year examinations adopted by the Faculty meets with the approval of our class.
Each one of us likes to know at the end of a term what progress we are making in our studies. After the holding
of the above-mentioned examinations school closed, December 1 9, for the Christmas vacation.
On Monday, January 4, 1 909, we assembled for the second semester. Sadness prevailed in our hearts, for
during the Christmas holidays our Historian, Mr. H. E. Bradley, was claimed by death. As a student he was
brilHant; as a man, he had character; as a Christian, he was sincere. Words cannot express our sympathy, nor
deeds the true value in which he was held.
The baseball game to be held this spring between Sophomores and Freshmen is already arousing much
interest. Some of our men have gone in to practice, and Bailey is rehearsing some new yells to be used on the
side lines. We are determined this year to gain the victory, and if hard practice counts, we will be the class
with the big end of the score.
In conclusion, we hope that all future Sophomore classes of P. & S. will bear themselves as nobly and
uphold Sophomore "dignity" as has the Class of Nineteen hundred eleven.

"In the midst of life we are in death." How seldom, if ever, is the truth of
this old saying appreciated!
When the Class of 1911 parted for the Christmas holidays, we little dreamed
that our class would never more be reunited in this world in its entirety. But Death,
before whom all must inevitably bow, had entered our portals, and this time claimed
as his victim, one who was near and dear to each of us ; had torn away a link from
the chain which nearly two years of close relationship and common interest had
welded.
While his death is a great misfortune to us, yet the lesson which his life teaches
is of greater significance to each than we can realize.
Classmates ! the lesson comes home to us, and while we still have time, let us
endeavor lo so mould our manner of living, that when the summons of Death comes,
as come it will, we shall be able to take up our eternal abode, reunited as one family
with our friend and brother who awaits our coming at the gates which ope to that
Home where pain and sorrow may not enter.

On the most memorable day of October 1 , 1 908, there assembled in
the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Baltimore a heterogeneous bunch
of emerald-hued, open-faced mdividuals, known collectively as the Freshman
Class of 1908.
Although some few of these had heretofore enjoyed the extreme pleasure
of being constituents of Freshman classes in various medical schools situated
throughout the country, the great majority had experienced no further advan-
tages of higher education than those offered by first-class (?) High schools.
Drug stores and institutions dispensing various other professional lore. Some
had, indeed, graduated from department stores, farms, and a few even claimed
the distinction of having graduated from bar-keeping.
But here they were flushed with hope and flattered (?) by the upper
classmen on the fine appearance they presented and the fact that they were
college boys, not one of them having the least doubt in his mind that he was it
and the others were tyros.
The Clinic seventy-seven
The first idea that presented itself to this promising assemblage of beauty and intellect, was that they should
organize, in order to become better acquainted with each other, and to successfully repell a series of attacks or rushes
which are annually instituted by the "Oesophomore" contingency. With this idea in view, a meeting was held
to elect class officers and outline the campaign of their future inter-classic war.
The first "gentleman" nominated for the office of president was Mr. Jacob "Elephant" Mendelsohn, better
known as "SHm." He, with tears running down his pallid countenance, declined, as he had promised his
mother never, never to be president; but the situation was not yet lost — Mr. William T. F. McMahon, other-
wise known as the "Sphinx," was nominated and unanimously elected. The other officers elected were: Vice-
President, Mayes Bella Wilhelm; Treasurer, Ninde Troy Gillette; Secretary, Albert Clyde Shannon; Ser-
geant-at-Arms, Earl Thompson ; Class Historian, Maurice S. Eisner.
Then the class decided upon the manner in which they should defeat the Sophs, in the rushes. This having
been done, they awaited the inevitable for two days, and then . The story of those rushes are too well known
to need further comment. Suffice it to say that we frizzled them to a frazzle. The day after the second rush
the president of the Sophs, came limping into school and, with tears in his starlike eyes, asked us to please desist
from further attacks, and said that we could have our pictures taken in peace this year, instead of in pieces, as in
former years. This was done.
Much of the credit of our victory is due to our class president, who was not present during the rushes.
The fact that he was not in the class, however, had a demoralizing effect on the Sophomores.

Then the class started in on their routine of studies, and all passed the mid-year exams, to a greater or less
degree of excellence. After the Christmas holidays they returned to school, \sithout a man lacking — money,
and on the 21st day of January were sentenced to three months in the Dissecting room, where they are now doing
time.
This retrospection would be incomplete if I failed to say a word or two of the pugilistic powers of the
class. That the aforesaid powers have been developed to a high degree of efficiency, was demonstrated by the
fistic encounter between "Kid" Ensmmger, othervsise known as "Santa Claus," and "Young" Nues, the coming
Valedictorian of the class, whach was "pulled off" on the morning of January 28th. As to the casus belli,
nothing need be said ; most of us know it, and those who don't are not losing anything by their lack of knowledge.
Regarding the bout itself, a full account appears elsewhere in this publication. The result is history.
Many years hence, when the rush of professional cares encompass us, we may forget, in a measure, the
pleasures incident to our college days, but one glance at The Clinic, '09, wll serve to recall to our memories
those dear old days when we %vere Freshmen at P. & S.

5 a rule, both medical students and physicians tend to take a rather narrow view both of life and of
their professional work, and the reason is that in the midst of the numerous calls on time and energy
there is little of either left for the humanities and the other things which go so far to make Hfe worth
living — art, music and literature. Thrice happy the man who can lose himself in a good book,
or in a symphony, or in the contemplation of a work of art. But it so happens that many are so
situated that they cannot go in for art or music, or they may have no liking for either, and may even not W2mt
to cultivate their taste in these directions. But with books it is different. The study of medicine is so closely
allied with the use of books that the average medical student usually acquires the reading habit, even if he did
not have it before. With this habit directed into the proper channels, he has at once great profit and great
delight. Not only should the medical student read his medical books, but he should read books about the
history of medicine and the lives of great physicians, as well as essays and addresses on medical topics. The
lives of Harvey, Hunter, Locke, Sydenham, Pare, Virchow, Pasteur, Charcot, and many other worthies may
be had in any good medical library, and reading the lives of the masters in medicine is, perhaps, the easiest and
most pleasant method of studying the history of medicine.
As to medical books, the student should remember that one cannot get a knowledge of medicine from books
alone, and one cannot get a good knowledge of medicine merely from clinical observation, but that both must

be used. As Osier has so happily put it: "To study the phenomena of disease without books is to sail an
uncharted sea; while to study books without seeing patients is not to go to sea at all."
The medical student tries to learn too many things and to perfect himself in too many subjects, and that,
too, from text-books alone. He should be taught to study some one subject and some one disease with great
thoroughness, looking up the original sources of information in the medical journals and monographs, so that he
may get a thorough understanding of how medical knowledge has been brought into the world. The way of
the student is hard, doubtless, but there is but one way to acquire an understanding of medicine, and that is by
hard, unremitting work.
One must not become entirely one-sided, and many a time has the advice been given to form what Osier calls
a bedside library, a little collection of books one wants to read and re-read, and it is always a source of interest
to learn what books a man loves. There are two classes of books — those we have on our shelves, rarely
or never open, and those we have in some handy place and read often. Such books should be at once a source
of inspiration and entertainment, a refuge from the tire and troubles of the day. A busy physician has not
time for many, and so they should be picked most carefully and occasionally changed. It is said tliat Sir William
Browne had three books which supplied him with all he required — Hippocrates his medicine, a Greek testament
his divinity, and Horace his good sense and vivacity. Truly when one looks over a modern book catalogue they
envy him.
One person cannot choose such a library for another, for individual tastes and preferences must be consulted,
but whatever else they are they should be good, sound books. One such collection contains a Bible, Thomas
a Kempis, The Three Musketeers, Alice in Wonderland, Ronsard's Sonnets, Shakespeare's plays, Faust, The
Rubaiyat, and the Oxford Book of English Verse. A curious selection, perhaps, but satisfactory from an individual

standpoint. This might not suit another individual at all, or only in part, but the main thing is to get books
which can be read over and over again without losing their charm. Some make a habit of choosing one author
and reading him thoroughly for a year or until the books selected have been thoroughly digested.
It is a good plan to find a few minutes a day to read something containing an inspiration to work, some-
thing teaching the fruitlessness of worry, and amongst many books that might be recommended are: Dr. Osier's
Essays and Addresses, "Aequinimitas," or Camac's collection of quotations from Dr. Osier's work, v^ath the
title of "Counsels and Ideals." Such books are good mental and moral tonics, and one should remember that
suggestion plays a great part in healthy lives, just as it does in the nervous, and good, sound suggestion from a
favorite book is not to be considered lightly.
There is one other piece of advice that might be given, especially to the person who has a taste for foreign
languages, and that is the possibility of acquiring a good reading knowledge of t\vo or three of the modern lan-
guages by utilizing a few spare moments a day. The secret is a little application, not once a week, or twice a
month, but every day ; five or ten minutes a day every day for a year wdll help wonderfully, and it is surprising
the satisfaction of being able to read the foreign authors in original.

XYGEN, with the other elements of nature, is more or less a mystery. It is true that we know a few
simple facts about it — its weight, properties, etc. — but its origin and history are more or less clouded in
mystery. With some such thought as this in mind, I dropped my pen, since my tired brain refused to
work, and was soon off in slumber-land. During that period of bodily rest the part of the brain
which works in some mysterious manner while we sleep, was the recipient of a strange message. The
impression it left on my waking senses I will set down, believing that possibly some may be amused, as I was.
Dr. Simon was standing behind his long table, upon which a new and strange kind of chemical apparatus
had been placed. In a low-pitched, solemn voice he began to speak:
"Gentlemen, I have devoted nearly my entire life to research work, and until recently firmly believed
that I would go on to the end of my days, repeating practically the same thing year by year regarding the very
useful element, oxygen. However, this morning I have the extreme honor and pleasure of telling you something
new, and perhaps startling about an atom of oxygen, which I have been carefully studying.
"Some time ago a noted inventor came to me with the announcement that he had perfected a wonderfully
delicate and complicated instrument, whereby an atom of oxygen might be separated from its fellows, and in
some manner an impression taken of the things associated with the atom on its travels. This instrument stands

I have deciphered, was recorded."

Once upon a time, many, many years ago, I came into existence. The date that I was born is unrecorded.
The experiences that I have had, and the changes which I have been subjected to, have left my mind a blank
as far as the time of birth is concerned. Were I able to tell you even a small part of what I have seen, I would
consume several centuries in the telling. In fact, I do not believe there is material enough in the universe upon
which my history in detail could be transcribed. I intend, therefore, to set up a few mileposts, as it were, mark-
ing my progress down through the ages, calling your attention to a few of the great events of my life, and then
hastening on with that part of my life which may prove more interesting to you.
The first thing I can remember about myself is not very pleasant to think of. I was a puny, delicate fellow,
surrounded by veritable giants whose breath almost choked the life out of me. Gradually I grew stronger, and
soon discovered I had many brothers, and that we were multiplying, and the other fellows, those whose presence
spelt death to living creatures of flesh and blood, were rapidly disappearing.
The surface of that body they call "Earth," suddenly became populated with a new form of life — the
animal — and then I commenced to drift from place to place, until one day I was caught in a mass of ice, only
to be delivered after many long years of imprisonment. I was with the people who erected the Pyramids, and
had I but the time I would tell you a tale that would make ancient history, as you know it, read Hke a fable.
Later on I was a constant visitor to the city the Athenians made famous. I witnessed the rise and decline of
the Roman Empire. Passing on, some years later, I met the courtly Sir Walter Raleigh. He was the first
man who introduced tobacco into England. One day, while seated in his apartments trying out a new brand

of "the weed," I happened to enter the room and noticed huge clouds of smoke pouring forth from his mouth.
Suddenly a couple of chambermaids, thinking he was on fire, rushed into the room and delivered the contents of
two large water pails into his face. That was the last I saw of poor Walter, and during the period intervening
between that time and the present, I have watched the human race struggle on, one moment in tnumph, the next
m deepest despair.
The other day, while passing through Washington, I lingered long enough to hear one called "Teddy"
Roosevelt, in a moment of exultation, of greatest joy, shout, "We have them beaten to a frazzle." Here was
triumph. I was carried to Baltimore, and there ran across a fellow who was the personification of despair. He
had lost fifteen dollars on one Bryan. His first name was Joe, I could not catch the last. Next I encountered
one known as Dean Charles F. Bevan, mounting the steps of the College of Physicians and Surgeons. I Hn-
gered fondly about him, attracted by the silvery quality of his voice, and held spellbound by such an array of
adjectives — more wonderful in the intricacies of their meaning — than I had ever in all my previous travels
run across. With considerable regret I took my leave, only to run across genial Dr. Chambers. After listening
to several of his epigrams the thought struck me that if he was as much a Surgeon as Philosopher, he would just
about do.
My next acquaintance was W. F. Lockwood, M.D. He was seated in deep thought by the side of one
who was dying for want of more atoms just like me. Suddenly he said some pretty ugly things, for he had for-
gotten a cylinder of some of my kin, and in great trepidation I passed out of the room. I roamed about for a
short time, and, unknowTi to any one, floated into the Surgical Amphitheatre. I caught sight of a pleasant-
looking fellow they called Dr. Dobbin, and before I knev/ it he captured and blew me into an ugly-looking little
baby. Suddenly, without an instant of warning, that rascal let out a squall, and I was gone. The next thing I

knew William Royal Stokes, M.D., captured me accidentally and penned me m one of those flat dishes with
one of his particular friends, I thmk he called him Streptococcus. Some good-hearted student came along and
liberated me when Dr. Stokes wasn't looking. (That poor devil flunked Bacteriological Lab.)
Overjoyed with my new-found liberty, I was glad to spend a few seconds with Dr. Harry Friedenwald,
who, I soon learned, had a heart too big to harm any one, not excepting me, poor atom of oxygen. His confusing
words on Ophthalmology and Otology were but the A, B,C's of what was to follow when I should meet William
T. Spratling, M.D. He spoke of protoplasm being primitive cell matter. Well! thought I, what's coming
next? Those student fellows can stand it, even thrive on it, so what's the difference to me? I was getting in
a pretty bad condition by this time, and thought it wise to have a look at Dr. Archibald C. Harrison.
I watched him deftly handle the knife, and had about decided to have him operate on me for the
removal of congested thought, when this confounded new machine got hold of me and forced me to reveal secrets
never before divulged. I ought to hold a grudge against Dr. Simon, but somehow I can't do it, for I knew him
from a boy up. I often saw him playing with Hans and Gretchen and the other red-cheeked German girls and
boys. This was long before he ever thought of crossing the pond to teach Chemistry. He has said some pretty
nice things about me in a big, blue-covered book. He said that I weighed 15.88, which is going some, especially
since I am invisible. Then, too, he says I am necessary to life, and what greater compliment could he pay me?
I am tired and worn out. Possibly at some future time I shall give you another story — "Other Doctors I
Have Met." I am now in the nascent state, and according to the immutable law of an occult power, I must
resume my journey, endeavoring to be of use to the world, thus fulfilling the obligation I owe to my Creator.

HE Editors of the present volume of The Clinic were not long in discovering that it took an almost
superhuman effort to awaken the student body to the fact that we were in need of material — Hterary
in particular. Much valuable time and "hot air" were wasted in our endeavor to convince the members
of the four classes of this growmg necessity.
At this critical juncture Mr. J. D. McGonigle gave the committee a pocket case of surgical instru-
ments, and suggested that we offer it as a prize to that member of the college writing the best article, within certain
limitations. The conditions for the contest were very simple. Ten men submitted their essays to us. We
feel greatly indebted to each of these for their share in making this a genuine contest. In accordance with a
promise which we made upon announcing the conditions of the contest, etc., we immediately forwarded the essays
to the judges who had generously offered to act in that capacity.
We do not wish to be dictatorial, or in any manner attempt to shape the destiny of future books, but we
would appreciate the compliment, should those who follow in our footsteps imitate in this one particular, by offer-
ing some similar inducement, thus creating an incentive for more thoughtful and careful literary work among the
students who go to make up our College.

Dear Sirs — We have carefully and, we trust, conscientiously examined the various articles submitted for
our consideration, according to your requirements for this contest. We think that, taken as a whole, the articles
are all above the average in the treatment of the subjects chosen. Two of them, in particular, merit conunen-
dation.
We have awarded the prize to the article entitled "The Reward of a Bachelor," by L. E. Trent, and
honorable mention to the article entitled "The Opium Habit," by A. C. Knight.
The story called "The Reward of a Bachelor" evidences a vivid and lively imagination on the part of the
writer, and is told in an interesting and effective manner.
The author of the article entitled "The Opium Habit" has manifestly given research and study to the sub-
ject treated. What he has written is well and forcibly expressed.

FTER graduation I had, in a spirit of adventure, gone to South Africa to serve in the capacity of a
surgeon in the Boer ranks. My sympathies had been with them from the beginning, and I beheve in
them still more now^. I had just returned from the service, when I received Milton's telegram. I
was tired and wished the luxury of a few weeks' rest; but here was his telegram: "Come to see me at
once; have on hand a fine experiment." The message was already over two weeks old. Now, Milton
and I had been old college chums together. I did not know positively what kind of an experiment he was
going to perform — whether it would follow his surgical bent or his sentimental thoughts. He had been accused
while at the University of ha%'ing lost his heart to a beautiful maiden. Afterward I learned that she had
refused him for some imknowTi reason, which we could not find out.
He must have felt this keenly, for, not long afterward, he swore by all things eternal that he would remain
single for life. I had always felt a repugnance for a married Hfe myself, and heartily shook hands with him.
Therefore we both stood pledged.
Knowing no way to get out of going to help my friend, I hastened to comply with his wishes. I was
already nearly three weeks late. Arri\'ing at New Orleans, I was met by my old friend. You can just imagine
for yourself with how much gladness we greeted each other. After a good supper, one such as only bachelors
can enjoy — no women folks and kids to make you dizzy with their chatter — we repaired to the sitting-room.
There we talked over the old days, each lingering fondly over them. At length the conversation drifted to other
things, he telling me about his work and success, and I relating some of my many experiences.

"Well, what about this experiment of yours? I've come all this long way to see it carried out."
"Old fellow," he said, "you're too late by almost three weeks. After you did not answer my telegram I
was seized with the notion to perform it at once."
"What!" I exclaimed. "After all my trouble to come here to help you, and now you've not waited for me?"
"Wait! wait! Hampton, till you hear my story, and I know you'll forgive me. Anyway, I'm glad to see
you, and I'll try to make your stay as pleasant as possible. There are many quaint things in this old town to
interest a fellow."
"All right, spin your yarn, and I'll judge for myself whether it has been worth my while to come or not."
Milton relighted his pipe and began: "You know, when we left college both of us were rather cranky
on the subject of 'baching it' for all time. I myself, as you will no doubt remember, had lost all faith in
womankind, for the very reason that she had deceived me. After leaving the University I came here. I had
been here less than three months when I heard that she was here too, and one of the belles of the city. Her
uncle is a very prominent citizen. I saw her only once, and that at the annual ball held at the Armory three
years ago. You can't imagine how many memories her face — "
"What has that got to do with your experiment? And have you deserted the ranks already?" I hastily
exclaimed.
"All in due season, my lad. About this time — the time that I saw her — I was deeply interested in embalm-
ing and the different methods by which it was done in the different countries. I studied them all exhaustively,
and found that only one, the Egyptian method, was worth the trouble to inquire into. The others were mere
farces. I am rather a crank on some things, as you know. I furnished a laboratory and began experiments
in that line on my own account. So deeply fascinated did I become, that I decided to go abroad. To Egypt,

then, I went. There I've spent the last three years in study. In my course of inquiries and excavations I met
an old Egyptian priest. Hearing that I was somewhat of a scholar, emd really interested in knowing fully and
concisely all the facts and data of their mummery, he placed himself at my disposal. I found in him an invalu-
able companion and friend.
"One day we were searching an old mausoleum of the Pharaohs, when I came upon an obelisk of red
granite, inscribed with very old Egyptian characters. My friend, who knew the old language as well as you
and I know our own, offered his assistance. He deciphered it. To my astonishment it was the formulas for the
different embalming fluids which the alchemists in those days had used.
"My desires having been satisfied, I returned to this country. I have been back only a few months and
have been very anxious to try my new preparation. I heard that you were expected to arrive at any moment
from the Boer war. I knew you would be glad to help, so I telegraphed you."
"Yes," I interrupted, "our ship, for some unknown reason, was delayed in mid-ocean for over ten days.
Bad management, I thought. Anyway, lucky for us, a collier happened to pass one day and supplied us with
coal. That was the cause of my delay. I'm sorry I couldn't come in time to assist you."
"All right, I shall have to forgive you. But I was very anxious to complete the experiment. Happily,
about this time I met a yoimg physician connected with the College of Medicine here. I asked him whether
he could procure a body for me, or where I could get one. He said that he knew men who could be trusted
to get me one for a neat remuneration. They had procured the specimens for the college. I agreed to pay
the sum, and he promised to meet me at the north gate of the Cemetery of the Virgins a week from that
time — now nearly three weeks ago — with the men.
"I must confess I felt a little shaky about how the affair would end, because this making a compact with

ghouls and grave-diggers had never entered my head before. I suppose my uneasiness then can be accounted
for by the very novelty of the compact.
"The appointed night came — dark, damp, with sheet Hghtning, every once in a while, making the night
hideous with the bright flashes — so in accord, you see, with my own dark thoughts. It occurred to me, as I
walked to the rendezvous, that this night, above all others, should have been bright, to lend at least some
semblance of permission to the deed. For this very reason, as this was not the case, I felt that the time was pro-
pitious for some unusual occurrence.
"Arrived at the gate, I was met by my friend, the physician, and his allies. These had provided an ox-
cart to carry the body in. We went at once to the east side of the cemetery, where the vaults were. As well
as I can remember, there were six, all built in the side of a little knoll. It was so dark, except for the occasional
flashes, that none could be made out distinctly, much less the names inscribed on them, as I might have known.
At length we stopped at one, and one of the ghouls, a big, bully-looking fellow, approached the vault and
silently opened it with his skeleton key. Before entering, he went to the cart and secured his tools and a lantern.
This he lighted. All of us entered. It took little time to knock the lid off of what appeared to me to be a very
new casket. Asking one of the ghouls about this, he answered that it was a new casket — it had just been
placed there during the afternoon. While they worked I held the lantern. It was just the matter of a few
moments to take the body out and place it in the cart. While removing it, I remarked to my friend that the
face was one of marvelous beauty. In the dim light I could not distinguish the features.
"We hurried away as quickly as possible, for the night was waning, and it was only an hour or two till
daylight. It was not long before we reached my house. There I had them place it in my laboratory. For
some unaccountable reason, I wasn't sleepy, and all at once I was seized with the insane idea to begin work at

once. No sooner had the notion entered my head than I was in my operating clothes. I laid my specimen
on the table, and eagerly began my preparations for the long-desired experiment. With a sharp incision knife
I cut the radial artery in her little wrist — white and wasted with sickness. I started, for I thought I had seen
the blood ooze and drop. I looked closer again; 'Just my imagination,' I muttered. Again I cut, and a Httle
deeper. The blood did drop! I knew there was life there! I glanced at the features more closely; there
was something familiar about them! I looked yet closer, and then closer still. 'My God!' I cried, 'is it she?
Can it be possible? She cannot be dead! Oh, she cannot be dead. Yet those are her features. I would
know them anywhere.'
"Suddenly I remembered the artery which I had severed. I was almost in a frenzy. I hastily bound it
up. I applied restoratives and every other thing that was of use. I worked. Oh, Lord, for I don't know how
many hours. They seemed then to me like so many centuries. I worked all day and late the next night. At
last I was about to give up, when I noted a faint pulsation. I knew then I had conquered — saved her life —
her hfe, I say! After another hour's work she opened her eyes, but no recognition for me. Oh, what eyes
those were! I nursed her to health and strength, and today she is — "
There was a soft knock at the door. I almost jumped out of the chair. "Come in," he composedly called,
and there walked in from the darkness of the hall without, to the bright light within, a veritable dream of love
liness. "And she is, I v/as about to remark," said Milton, "my wife." I bowed, and as I did so the clock
struck twelve. "It grows late," said Milton. I slowly ascended the stairs to my room, and pondered long
into the night on the inconsistency of human nature.

A Freshie's life at the P. & S. (that is at Baltimore)
Is not as joyful as you'd guess, for reasons by the score.
The family's impression home is, that our boy, so dear
Has made a "hit" with all the school,
You bet that our boy is no fool,
His subjects all are clear.
They see him wearily return, to eat his frugal meal;
He doesn't care much whether it be fish, or beef, or veal.
And then to his beloved books to plug and plug and plug.
Until, there in his little "jug,"
While he's as busy as a bug,
The hours of midnight steal.
The doctors and professors and the students all agree,
There never was a nicer boy or one more bright than he.
His parents see him (in their minds) within the College there.
With knives in hand of different kinds,
A suit of white (the College finds),
And covered is his hair.
Then wearily he climbs in bed and offers up a prayer
For Father, Mother and the rest, who so await him there.
But, really, all that truck is "con" and very far from truth;
In fact, they scarcely know your son,
(Excepting when he's on a "bun").
Your nonentical youth.
They see him cutting up a corpse, and now and then, oh, my !
An operation is performed — and then they let hint try.
They see him in the lecture room — My, how his pencil goes !
He's taking notes, but what's the use?
You bet that our boy is no goose.
When once he hears, he knows.
Excepting now and then a Soph, may soak him on the noodle,
The Secretary knows him, also — when he wants the boodle.
And, let's see, what does he do? He hears the lectures, jingo!
They're rattled off a mile a minute,
"Fresh" doesn't see a durn thing in it —
He doesn't grasp the 'lingo."
He's in the Laboratory now. What? Chemistry? A cinch.
Why, he knows all about it — he could an'lize in a pinch.
An operation, Dr. Pill ; you're wanted right away.
Professor says you'll like this case.
Then to the Hospital he'll chase
And operate all day.
He has a stinking lot of bones that he's supposed to study;
Two whiffs of that formaldehyde and his poor brain is muddy.
And so he puts them by again to "finish up that book."
Then morning comes — don't know a thing —
He dreads to hear the class bell ring,
He feels just like a "GOOK."

And no one cares — just only he — that's if it's his own "dough."
The College Faculty don't care if he wakes up or no.
"Nine fifteen ! Gee whiz !" he says, "one lecture gone for fair."
He wonders if they'll "turn the trick" —
If some one will report him "sick" —
While papa and poor mamma build swell castles in the air.
It's one o'clock, he hustles home — that is, the boarding-house,
Packs in the "feed" and takes a nap as cosy as a mouse.
He wakes at three, or maybe four, and goes out for a stroll ;
There's lots of time to study yet —
I've got a special "quiz" to get ;
I'll plug two hours whole.
He use a knife? Get out, you "gink," he don't know what it is.
He has a set, but don't believe they use them in the "biz."
He see an operation ? Where ? Who ? "Freshie,'' do you mean ?
He hasn't cut his eye-teeth yet ;
Don't even know how to forget;
He's raw and awful green.
He's back again at supper time, and, after getting through.
He goes next door to visit "Bill" and borrow "one or two."
His room-mate says, "Come on and plug, you laz}' rascal, you."
He studies for a little while,
Then goes to find that pretty smile —
They sometimes find a few.
"Moving pictures? Sick o' them. Vaudeville? What say?
Oh, hakes with that, we'll go back home and play pinochle, eh?"
Till twelve o'clock, or one o'clock — it doesn't matter which.
And then he writes a letter home — he needs a "checkovitch."
Oh, a Freshie's life at the P. & S. (that is at Baltimore)
Is not what it's cracked up to be, for reasons by the score.

OLLEGE Spirit is an indefinite, indefinable something which is met with in varying forms and degrees
in all of the many institutions devoted to learning. There are few who have not read of the wonderful
exhibition of the so-called College Spirit that is displayed annually at the various athletic events which
many of the colleges engage in. Disinterested people who have read of or attended any of these
annual games have wondered what peculiar force it is that serves to transform a body of apparently
serious men into a wildly cheering unit. This force, if such we may call it, is a type of College Spirit, or a
proper interest in one's Alma Mater, represented by one of the contesting teams.
We have heard the question asked, "What does this noise and fuss accomplish?" or, "What real effect does
it have on either of the contesting teams?" An exact answer to these questions is difficult to give. We do know,
however, that men can and do put forth more effort, and accomplish greater things when they are backed by the
voices of thousands of friends and well-wishers. But the effect upon those who supported the team faithfully
is, perhaps, of more importance, for every man feels better, and is better, for having done even so small a thing
as to attend the game and lend his voice and presence to the encouragement of the representatives of his college.
The fact that College Spirit exhibited at the proper time is almost essential to success upon the athletic field has
been demonstrated time and time again.
My readers, this is only one kind of College Spirit, and while it is indeed, commendable and admirable, yet
it too often represents all the love for college some men have. Even this interest, which is narrow in itself, is
frequently transitory, having no enduring effect.
Fisher — "Weighed down with business and with other cares.'
The Clinic ninety-nine
The popular idea of College Spirit very often is represented in the foregoing type, and with such a type in
mind, people — an unthinking class, obviously — charge that certain colleges lack this spirit. Even students
are too wont to criticize their colleges and fellow-students for a lack of College Spirit, when in fact they have
not thought about the matter seriously. Apparently such have expected some surface manifestations, commen-
surate with the popular idea, and failing to discover such evidence, have come to the conclusion that no such
thing existed in their college.
Many of us have heard the same thing charged to our college, and because of that charge this article has
been written to show that a splendid fellowship. College Spirit, or whatever name you choose to call it, does in
fact exist, and that it is this factor, more than any other, that is responsible for our present position. In addition
it is the aim of the writer to show what develops this spirit, and how essential it is for each of us to possess it in
full measure.
The average age of the students who go to make up our college is somewhat greater than the average age
of students in literary colleges. Each man is here with a definite purpose in view. His life work is laid out,
and sooner or later he realizes that his future success depends upon his application to that work. In the literary
college, a man's future is often very uncertain ; his object, he will tell you, is to become poHshed, so that he will
be able to occupy his proper position in society. Men with this as their chief ambition are too often failures,
burdens to society and to themselves.
The difference between these two classes of students may not appear very great to an untrained observer,
for such a person looks only upon the one side of the student — the external, if I may so designate it. There
is, we admit, a great similarity in this direction. The steady grind of student life makes it necessary for every
one of us to occasionally relax. It is then, during this period of relaxation, that we cast aside all serious thought

and .allow our surface feelings full sway. Unfortunately, the world sees only this one side of us — the surface. It
forgets that we have serious moments ; that grave problems continually confront us, developing to a higher degree
our hidden natures, or that other and deeper side of each of our lives. We are working for one common end —
to fit ourselves to be useful and helpful to suffering humanity. In our preparation we are confronted with many
new and mysterious problems. We are amazed at what we call the power of nature. We have witnessed
together the birth or commencement of new lives ; we have stood and watched by the bedside of patients whose
bodies were racked with pain, and wasted by disease to such an extent that death was a welcome friend. Each
one of us realize how helpless we are when the forces of nature stand opposed to us. We who know something
of the wondrous structure of man, the beginning and strange end of his physical being, are, perhaps, more
strongly impressed with the existence of a divine power than any other class of people. Then, is it not logical
to expect that our surroundings, the serious nature of the work itself, would tend to develop a spirit of true fel-
lowship, a closer relationship, which is the highest form of the so-called College Spirit?
One of the saddest things that has yet occurred to our class was the death of a beloved friend and fellow-
student. If evidence were lacking that a common tie binds us together as a class, this unfortunate break in our
ranks should serve to dispel doubt from any one's mind, for I have never witnessed more sincere or profound grief
than was expressed in the significant silence and quiet of our class on that occasion.
The loyalty of those who have preceded us here at P. & S., has been demonstrated a thousand times in as
many different ways. Wherever our travels take us in this country, we are apt to meet men who are proud to
say, "Glad to meet you, for I also am a P. & S. man," and then he will ask you about his old school, and you
will recall to his memory many familiar landmarks and pleasant recollections. Our professors will tell you that
this form of College Spirit — interest in the old school — is more valuable to the college than anything else, for
Grisenger— "With all thy faults we love thee still."
The Clinic one huxdreu axd oxe
among the students will be found sons and brothers of many of the "old grads." This is only another evidence
of College Spirit which has developed since its inception back in student days. It is a force that is growing, a
force we are, perhaps, now unconscious of. Let us hope that we awaken to its existence before we are sepa-
rated, and the opportunity for a true realization of its joys lost.
What is the value of this good-fellowship and loyalty to college, which latter only means ourselves and
those who are laboring so earnestly for our advantage? If we possess true College Spirit, it will be shown in our
kindness and deference for those who labor about us and for us; and it will be further manifested in our atti-
tude to questions or measures that are believed to be of benefit to our class or college by the majority of those
concerned. College Spirit is closely akin to good citizenship; in fact, they are parallel, for both lead in the
same direction. Loyalty to college would imply patriotism to country following the natural order of things.
College Spirit and good citizenship serve to develop those things which are essential in the higher development
of man — individuality, responsibility, altruism, trained will, noble ideals, high aspirations and adaptability..
Finally, we must remember that our school, embodying the buildings and those who teach us, may be splen-
did things in themselves, but is dependent in the last analysis upon the "fellows" — the students — for its unseen
life note, its soul or spirit. The responsibility for the development of this spirit rests with the individual himself.
Our training and our environment make a strong appeal to the best and manliest that is in us, and should impress
us with the necessity for a cultivation of those things which make for School Spirit. Later on in life, the true
value of College Spirit will, perhaps, only be fully apparent, for to a man so blessed will come memories pleasant
to thmk of; but to his less fortunate brother — the man who passed through college utterly oblivious to those
about him, and forgetful of what he owed to college and himself — the memory of his college days will be at
best a haze, or gloomy spot in the recesses of his memory.

HY not have some student feeling? It seems rather strange that in an institution of this kind, with
some two hundred odd men in attendance, there should be such a lack of enthusiasm in affairs per-
taining to the student life. A half-hearted interest in outdoor sports, those games which put new life
and energy in us, characterizes nearly the entire student body. To my mind there is no appreciable
reason why this should be so. College life is not all in attendance upon books and classes. It is the
social and the other side of student life that will appeal to you in future years when you look back on "under-
grad." days.
We should be able to take our position among the institutions recognized in the athletic life of this city.
We have among us men who are capable and willing to take their places on the football gridiron, on the basket-
ball floor and on the baseball diamond, if they would know that the student body would give them the proper
encouragement.
The first step necessary along this line is to formulate an Athletic Association among the students, thus
giving the moral and financial support necessary for the movement.
Boys, think this matter over; give it due consideration; talk it over with your fellow-students, and then let
us all get together.
In going over this matter it might be well to allude to the fact that letters of challenge for football games
have been received at the College from Rutgers and Johns Hopkins. These are on file with the Librarian.

^IHE S. and P. Athletic Club has suddenly stepped into the limelight, and has compelled the sporting gentry
to sit up and take notice. This all came about through a recent fight that was "pulled off" success-
fully by the new club, and which, from all accounts, was a "hummer." The members of the club
were quietly informed that a fight was scheduled for January 28th. The secret was guarded jeal-
ously, so as to prevent police interference. In fact, the thing came about so suddenly that the news-
paper reporters arrived late, and were forced to take rear seats. However, a fellow who was formerly on the
Nerv York Journal staff has reported his impressions of the fistic encounter, which I hereby record for your
benefit.
The Ex-Reporter's Version.
I was strolling quietly down the boulevard with a cigar protruding from my face, "batting" my eyes to
catch a glimpse of the front entrance to the club. I had just passed thirty-three and was making for thirty-four,
when klipperty boom bang! the door flew off its hinges. A gang of wild-eyed fight "fans" rushed by me,
carrying me with them. From everywhere the crowd poured in — some by elevators, some by ventilators, and
the rest as fast as two good legs would carry them. The box seats near the ringside were filled up rapidly by
several prominent doctors — dead-game sports to the core — while lesser lights of the sporting fraternity made
up the remainder of the audience.
Langwise— "Now and anon the amber fluid."
The Clinic one hundeed and twenty-five
Holroyd Fred, the referee, mounted the radiator and proceeded to announce the conditions of the "scrap."
The crowd howled for blood, and Frederick's voice was lost in the din which prevailed. It has leaked out that
the alligators, which formerly dwelt in the "tank" of Freshman fame, have disappeared since catching a glimpse
of Fred's mouth. (The poor critters may have died from envy. Alligators have awful tender feelings.)
Ensminger Samuel, popularly known by his friends as "Young Sharkey," and Neus Charles, dubbed by his
admirers "Sully," entered the "squared circle." It was noticed that both men were in the pink of condition,
prepared to do battle to the bitter end. The "weighing-in" formality was passed by, and the participants stepped
to the center of the ring, hugged one another instead of the customary handshake, and the fight was on.
Round One. — Sharkey swings fiercely at Sully, which the latter skillfully ducks, and uppercuts to Sharkey's
chin. Sharkey recovers, landing a powerful solar plexus blow on his opponent. Sully rushes Sharkey to the
ropes, landing right and left to the head. They clinch as the gong sounds. Even round.
Round Two. — Both fighters rush eagerly together, and in the close infighting which follows both deliver
damaging body blows. They again clinch, and in the breakaway Sharkey lands a telling punch in the region
of the occipital protuberance. Both fall to the floor in a death grapple. At this exciting stage a handsome,
light-haired man rushes into the ring and separates the pugilists. (After the fight this fellow's identity was
learned; it was Hutchinson, of the Baltimore Detective Bureau.)
When the detective appeared upon the scene, the referee grew excited and fell off the radiator, accidentally
knocking down the detective, who thought it wise to disappear.
Third Round. — Both men rain blows thick and fast. Little streams of blood begin to trickle down their
faces. Sharkey's eyes are fast closing, and Sully is seen to reel. Just at the moment a knockout seems near at
hand, the S. P. C. A. interferes and the referee reluctantly declares the fight a draw.

(Must have been poor dope.)
A half dozen prominent sporting men seen at the ringside have originated a new style low-cut derby, which
promises to become popular this spring.
Reward of one "Clinic" to the man who brings back two dollars stolen from the box office. The Year
Book Committee have not yet discovered it.
Milton Mack, a noted Montana mine-owner, offers another large reward for the return of the teeth he lost
at the ringside. This accident occurred as the result of a violent nervous attack, incident to the strenuous "doings"
at the fight. Mr. Mack has withdrawn his name as a member of the club. (This is strictly on the Q. T.)
Last reports from the hospital are to the effect that Sully and Sharkey will soon be about again.

on the faces of some the consternation deepened almost to calamity. And why should it not? Had not an old

grim expectancy of months been overthrown by one rude blow? O temporal O mores! Verily, had Reform

all these fond hopes which had been so carefully fostered, be thus wantonly destroyed? Alas, even so! For
they who sit in the high places, they to whom it is given to say "yea, yea," or "nay, nay," had so willed it.
But see, who are they who stand apart? Why are their countenances so lit up with hellish glee? Surely

[[AVE you ever seen a slate quarry? If not, you have missed the sight of one of the most w^onderful
treasures of antiquity.
Strange as this statement may appear, you vwll be convinced of its correctness when you are told
that recent discoveries prove beyond a doubt that these slate deposits are no more and no less than
remnants of the old schools and colleges founded many thousand years ago. Paper being unknown
in those days, the boys and girls cut soft stones into slices and used them for their writing and ciphering. In order
that a record might be kept of the progress made by the pupils, these plates were piled up, and we now find
stacks of them here and there, which are used over again by the youngsters of our day.
Of the overwhelming proofs that these slates have thus actually been used for educational purposes, at
least two should be mentioned.
In the first place, petrified remnants of lunch, or of wrapping material for lunch, are found imbedded in
this slate. The lunch containers seem to have been made from the leaves of ferns or palm trees, while fish
appears to have been one of the delicacies relished universally at the midday recess, though snakes and reptiles of
various kinds appear among the articles accidentally left behind by the school children and found stored away
between the slates.
The second proof is that the writing on these slates in many cases is yet well preserved. To the casual
observer the signs and figures found resemble such impressions as would be made by the scratching of a hen,
but since Mark Twain succeeded in deciphering the diaries of Adam and Eve, which are most likely the oldest
of these writings, scientists have made considerable progress in the reading of these old documents.
McGinn— "A lyric tenor — undiscovered."
The Clinic one hundred and thiett-thbee
The writer has been fortunate enough to unearth some slates covered with the hieroglyphics of one who
seems to have been a grown-up schoolboy living in the first century of the creation of the world. It may be of
interest to the college boy (and college girl) of our era to hear how things progressed in those olden times.
What this young man writes on this slate is this:
"Oh, I wish the good Lord had not created so many animals and so many plants, mountains and rivers;
and I wish old Grandpa Adam had not given names to all of them which we poor children now have to learn
at school. It is awful to sit here for hours and hours and study what teacher calls natural history, and geography,
and arithmetic, and spelling, and lots of other stuff. None of the boys like it, nor do the girls either."
Other slates are filled with similar complaints and expressions of disgust, but one stone I have found on
which the following remarkable and highly interesting data are inscribed:
"Yesterday teacher got real mad because not one of us knew his lesson, and when dinner time came he
went oif, locking us all up in the schoolroom, saying that he would not let us out until we knew it all, not if
it were to take all day and night. Well — there was great lamentation ; the girls cried, and the boys, too,
though they tried to hide it, but this did not do any good. So we attempted to learn our lessons, but with
empty stomachs and tearful eyes it was no go, and I think teacher would have had to keep us in all night had
not something happened that had never occurred before.
"I don't know where they came from, but all at once there stood in the room three things. I think they were
women, though I am not sure of it. They were dressed very differently from what we are, and the girls said it
was fancy, whatever that may be. Anyhow, the three looked very strange, and said they were three fairy angels,
one called Wit, the other Humor, and the third Fun ; and they had come to help us learn our lessons.
"Now I never had seen an angel before, and only had heard grandpa speak of the angel who drove him

and Grandma Eve from Paradise. So I would have been afraid, but I could not because the three fairies (or
angels, I don't know which) at once commenced to tell stories such as we had never heard before and draw
such pictures on the big slate as we had never seen. And then they showed us how to dance and jump and do
somersaults, and all kinds of nonsense.
"But the best thing was when they took an old broomstick, wrapped some rags around it, which they
shaped into legs and arms, and put on top an apple (grandma had given it to me; she knows something about
apples) which they had cut and fixed up so that it just looked like our old teacher. And when they then
made that thing walk just like teacher does, and when one imitated his voice so that you thought you heard
him scold and thunder, then suddenly I got such a peculiar feeling in my face as I never had experienced to
that day. Before I knew it my whole body commenced to shake and I had to cry out something like: 'Ha, ha,
ha!' and in a minute the whole class did the same, only the girls said: 'He, he, he!' and from some of the boys
it sounded hke: 'Ho, ho, ho!' And the fairies they did the same, and called out: 'Now we have taught you to
laugh; never forget it and never forget your good friends. Wit, Humor and Fun.'
"While we were yet laughing the fairies disappeared, but we were in such a happy frame of mind that we
went to work with a \\i\\, and when teacher came he was surprised at the result of our labors. We never told
him who had helped us."
This wonderful inscription on the slate unmistakably proves that Humor, Wit and Fun were bom when
the first school had been established. And from that day to this they have been fostered and cultivated in all insti-
tutions of learning, though chiefly when "teacher" is absent.
Indeed, not all teachers reahze the aid given them in their labors by the three fairies. But the students
know it. They fully appreciate that the digestion of intellectual food is immensely aided when seasoned with
wit and humor, with fun and mirth. This is the reason why this volume has been written, and this is its injunction :
"Understand, enjoy and laugh with me, but take me not too seriously."

One morning, while taking the medical section through the wards, for some unknown reason there was
much talking among patients. The Russian orderly dragged the screens roughly from bed to bed, and so the
section was transferred to the white female ward. In a few minutes the Polytechnic Institute boys began
practicing class yells, and the engineer at the Institute turned off the steam from the engine room. Then we
went to the next floor of the hospital to the colored female ward, and there was one painter there who was plac-
ing bright colors on the walls. At this juncture Dr. Lockwood said that he had never in his life been so fretted
and bothered with so much disturbance from within and without the building. Just then a noise like a large

Dr. Hayden tells of an incident which happened in his career. He was called at night to see a man whose
jaw was dislocated. When he arrived there was a woman doctor present, and she informed him that she had
used every means, even ether, in order to replace the submaxillary in its socket. He placed a towel around his
fingers, and, with less difficulty than he had expected, repaired the dislocation. The man's family Vv^ere angry
because the woman doctor had worked for hours, and he had worked but a short time. The lady doctor asked:
"Doctor, why do you suppose I could not replace the bone the same as you?"
"Oh, probably because I have more muscular strength than you," the doctor replied.
This did not satisfy her, so she waited until the doctor was leaving and accompanied him. On the outside
she said: "Doctor, what is the real reason why I could not get that bone back?"
"Well," said the doctor, "I don't know. You said that you gave an anaesthetic, and I never heard of a
dislocation which could not be repaired under one."
"I did not say an anaesthetic, doctor, but ether," the woman replied.
"Well, how did you give the ether?"
"I rubbed it on his gums," she repHed.

HIGHER degree of civilization with increased mental development among all classes of society, with
increased cares, duties and shocks, has brought with it increased use of narcotics, particularly of the
opium preparations.
Persons who may be classed under the head of "nervous temperament" are daily on the increase.
While the average individual now does more work in an hour than did our ancestors in six hours,
we are not one-sixth as well able to bear the intellectual strain as they were. Generation by generation our
physical natures are changing, and in the children of each succeeding generation we see the preponderance of
the nervous element — a gradual evolution of the peculiarities most prominently brought forward by the exigencies
of the individual and the national life of a people. To meet this nervousness, narcotics have been called into use.
Some of the most powerful intellects have bowed beneath the imperious dominion of opium. The literary
character, DeQuincy, wrote his "Confessions of an Opium Eater" under the influence of laudanum. No book
ever written has been more pernicious in its effects on the public mind. At that time the people and the medical
profession knew but little about opium. DeQuincy's article had the effect of stimulating curiosity in the pubhc
mind. Men and women who had never heard of opium before, now curious, their minds filled with vivid
pictures of a state of dreamy bliss, a feeling of full content with the world and all about them, tried the experi'
ment. The reader, confident of his ability to stop short of the ever-shifting line that divides the happiness from
the misery, in no wise was deterred from trying the experiment.
The nervous element above referred to, coupled v^ath a certain amount of curiosity, produced many opium
TucKWULER — "The sports of children satisfy the child."
The Clinic o^^ hundred and fifty-seven
habitues in the year following the appearance of this work. Coleridge's "Last Minstrel" was the product of a
laudanum-soaked brain. Southey was also addicted to the use of opium.
There is no proceeding in Medicine that became so rapidly popular. No method of allaying pain is so
prompt in action and pernicious in effects, and it has been extensively used and greatly abused.
Today there are thousands of educated and respectable people in all countries and among all classes who
are confirmed habitues. Of this number the medical profession contributes a high per cent. Of the number of
cases treated at the Richard Gundry Home during the past year, about forty per cent, were members of the
medical profession. Members of physicians' families made up a comparatively high percentage. Besides, physi-
cians, druggists often become addicted to the use of the drug.
As a rule, it affects those hereditarily tainted, who have less energy successfully to oppose the continued
use of the drug. Inquiry into causes assigned for beginning the habit shows pain to be the most frequent; then
follow insomnia, general ill feeling, sorrow and care, and bad example, which is especially true of physicians'
wives.
Many of these cases give history of previous treatment and relapses. One case, treated here during the
Summer, had relapsed eight times, and had taken treatment in as many different sanitariums. This time he was
using, hypodermically, thirty grains of morphine sulphate and six grains cocain hydrochloride per day.
The largest daily dose of morphine which has been observed in morphinists, according to Jacquet, amounted
to two hundred and twelve grains daily.
The great dangers attending the use of this valuable drug ought to be more fully realized by physicians.
Great care and judgment ought to be exercised in administering opium or its preparations to those patients of neu-
rotic temperament; and above all, they ought to realize the daggers of habit formation in temporizing with the
drug themselves.
VoGT— "When I was home I was in a better place."
OXE HUXDEED AKD FIFTT-EIGHT THE CLINIC
There is no therapeutic discovery that has been so great a blessing and so great a curse to mankind as the
hypodermic injection of morphine.
The credit of first discovering and applying the hypodermic syringe in the treatment of painful affections
belongs to Dr. Alexander Wood, of Edinburgh, in 1843. It became rapidly popular, and is now the favorite
method of taking the drug.
The physician resorts to the needle to enable him to keep at his duties and continue on his rounds, when
otherwise exhausted nature would compel him to rest. The man who drops into an "opium den" to "hit the
pipe" is simply a jaded roue in search of new vices.
When once under its influence he becomes its slave. It insinuates itself into the very life of its victim in a man-
ner that is appalling. The functions of the various organs become involved; metabolism is disturbed.
The morphinist is a man of double personality. After the injection he is in a good humor, conciliating,
capable of labor ;after the cessation of its action he is restless, repulsive, unable to concentrate himself, dull
and apprehensive. A new injection reanimates him. The longer the morphinism continues, the shorter the
euphoric state. The mind becomes torpid wthout it and calls for its potent thebaic stimulation to set it in
operation.
The prospects of many bright minds have been blasted by its baneful effects. Everything gives way to the
vice when once established. Business is neglected or but imperfectly performed ; family ties are sundered ; hopes,
ambition, happiness, self-respect become meaningless words.
The moral realm is invaded; he thinks opium, believes only in opium, enshrines it as his god. Very often
the whole life is absorved into the one ruling, all-persuasive influence, and he lives only to renew his daily
supply of the drug, neglecting friends and business. The period of brightness grows less marked and more
Urbanski— "What's in a name."

evanescent, and the gloom deepens. At first, under its influence, physical and mental functions are lost, and
unremitting exertions of body and mind become possible as long as its effects continue; self-consciousness is
depressed, the fancy is loose from restraint and a delightful sense of freedom and superior powers ensues, endow-
ing the victim with unwonted brilliancy of thought and speech. The brakes are off — the velocity is exhilar-
ating. These effects subside and he sinks into a corresponding stage of dullness; he is sluggish, inanimate,
thought lags, mental depression supervenes, and every exertion requires an effort. Faith and belief and honor
become subordinate in his consideration, and loss of intelligence and energy follows in a corresponding manner.
He craves the sense of euphoria, and hopes by taking more of the drug he may experience more of the
delights. Vain hope! The more drug he takes the more rapidly its pleasures evaporate, and finally he comes
to a state where it is necessary not simply to excite pleasures, but to sustain the energies of life — to live. He pre-
sents a picture of auto-toxemia. There is general emaciation, weakness and ataxia. Accompanying these, there
is lack of appetite, the skin is sallow, yellowish, scarred and indurated from injections. Abscesses are common,
and there is hyperacidity of the stomach. In women menstruation is suppressed.
The terminal picture with death from cachexia is a pitiful one, indeed. The digestive function is com-
pletely inhibited; the respiratory center is affected; he feels a frightful load on his chest; he gasps for breath
and suffers from agonies of suffocation. Sleep is broken by horrid dreams and terrifying nightmares. His lost
opportunities, misspent life, sacrificed prospects, friends, career, usefulness, all sacrificed for what? An unnatural
craving for a useless drug; all lost for the lack of the manly power to bear a little suffering. The majority do
not live to reach this point. A high dose of opiate is taken, not by accident or with suicidal intent, as a rule,
but in desperate endeavor to dam back the flood of toxins pouring into the blood and obtain a temporary respite
from suffering. An insurance agent, who came in for treatment, using a large quantity of morphine and liberal
Wai,sh— "Silent men think deeply."
o^^: hundeeed and sixty ThE ClINIC
amount of cocain, tried to shuffle off this mortal coil in the following manner: He planned to have the physi-
cian who had given him the first injection give the fatal dose. He decided that twenty-five grains in five-grain
doses would prove fatal. He was well known as a habitue by the physicians of the city. He went from one
office to another, getting from each physician a five-grain injection. When he came to the office of the physi-
cian in whose office he expected to get the fatal injection, he already had taken twenty grains in less than an
hour's time. Having received another five-grain injection, he was "feeling grand," as he expressed it. All
thought of suicide had vanished, and he returned home and accompanied his mother to church, enjoying it
all immensely.
The majority of the habitues sooner or later seek freedom from their master and enter on a course of treat-
ment at a sanitarium, the drug being removed by sudden, rapid or slow withdrawal. The majority of them
relapse, but a few are permanently cured.
The habits of years are not discontinued readily, nor without inconvenience resulting. Time must be
allowed for the altered conditions to be established; for the patient to learn to live without the drug; for the
various organs to accustom themselves to functionate independently of drug control.
With a year of rest, properly so-called, there is no reason for a cured patient relapsing. But people are not
always reasonable, and any habit is more easily re-established than it was first estabhshed.
Let us keep in mind the great dangers attending the use of this potent, seductive drug from the poppy; that
physicians themselves are particularly liable to form this enslaving habit; that even the most powerful intellects
soon pass under its dominion ; hence the demand for the exercise of great care and judgment in its administration.
